ISRI’s Advocacy Agenda for 2022 emphasizes three broad issue areas affecting the industry: Recyclable Commodities are Sustainable Materials, Recycling is Sustainable Manufacturing and We are Recycling.
Rising demand for recycled materials is essential for the health of the planet and for the global economy.
Each year the recycling industry in the United States processes over 130 million metric tons of material into commodities that are used in new products.
From our homes and workplaces to our schools, shopping districts, public transportation, and beyond, the essential role of the recycling industry is everywhere.
A sustainable planet cannot exist without recycling.
Recycling is essential to a healthy trade balance.
